Don't be uncomfortable all summer in an ugly room, whether you stay by the sea or in some mountain cottage. There are many honey touches you can take with you, and a few others to be got upon your arrival, that will save your feelings on the rainy days when you would really enjoy being alone if you were not housed in a bare, barn-like room, with nothing to take off the raw edges. When you leave home take with you a chintz trunk cover made in that very most useful way. Its lower part is the simplest of ruffles, strung on to a tape and fastened around the trunk proper while its lid is lifed. The top cover is a separate and fitted affair, boxed at the corners, so that it will remain in place when you lift the lid. After you arrive at your destination get an empty packing box to use for a writing desk. There is really nothing to equal it for convenience. Cover it with chintz or denim, stain the inside, if you like, but always remember to leave the front open, so you can keep knees and feet in it while you write. You can not hurt it; you may even kick it if you feel so disposed or ill at ease. Don't carry away from home framed pictures, and do avoid valuable toilet silver; but if there is a place where you will want your unfamed family near you it is in just this same mountain home. Only Crisp Garment. The only garment that is at all stiff and crisp in the wardrobe is the tailored shirtwaira, which the girls cling to. This is unsturched but the madrases and percals of which it is made have a certain body which the manufacturer gives them. The white shirtwaira striped with color matching the suits with which they are worn are in great favor with the girls just now. There are lovely Scotch madrases with narrow lines of any color at all that a girl may want. They are worn with embroidered collars and silk bows that match in tone. Summer Jackets. The new jackets are long, with any number of pockets, and covered with passementeries; some have little gathers under the pockets. This looks funny. The general impression left after patient inspection is that we shall see nothing decidedly new this season—nothing striking, as was foretold. The slight tendency toward Louis XV, or toward the modes of 1850 will be followed only as a caprice here and there, a fancy trial of eccentricity, but not a "lead." For Harsh Skin. When the skin feels dry and harsh and is beginning to look wrinkled, change your soap or abstain from using it entirely for a time. Nothing takes the oil from the skin more quickly than a soap that does not agree with it. As what suits one woman will not suit another, it is well to experiment until a soothing soap is found. An excellent substitute is almond pasta. THE GAZETTE HOUSEWORK AND THE HANDS With Proper Care, Unsightly Redness and Roughness Can Easily Be Prevented. Do not be afraid to give a lift with the family work for fear your lily white hands will suffer. The secret of smooth hands is not idleness and never putting them in dish water. One can be almost a household drudge and yet not be ashamed to deal a deck of cards or let your best young man hold your hand. The secret of good-looking hands is thorough washing, pure soap, careful drying and frequent anointing with soothing lotions and oils. If you must wash dishes insist upon having a toilet soap rather than the kitchen variety and your skin will not suffer. Scrubbing is the worst feature of housekeeping in its action on the hands, and loose rubber gloves should be used as often as possible. The girl who must do rough work should never forget the value of a lemon in keeping the skin smooth. A piece on the sink will do wonders in overcoming the bad effect of housework. POPULAR IN PARIS. Hat of tagal, lined with black chip, large bow of "venise," veiled with black tulle, and spray of wheat-ears. The Coiffure Very Voluminous. Under the hats the coiffure is more than ever voluminous. The ears are hidden under the soft bands, loosely arranged over and under structure of curled hair or wire; it drops low over the temples and puffs out in the back, enchantingly framing faces with delicate features, but rendering rather grotesque those with large coarse ones. For evening one sees the hair dressed with more simplicity, often softly folded about the head and held in Roman fashion with filets of ribbon, or plain gold and silver bands. It is dropped low over the temples and lightly shades the ears. -From Paris Letter to Vogue. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909.

McILrath of Cedar avenue, for years in the real estate business with offices on Euclid avenue near East Third Street. As a boy he was born and reared upon the McIlrath farm just east of the city, and early in his youth became familiar with the working of the underground railroad, as his father's home was a station of the same. It was there that the martyred president, Abraham Lincoln, stopped when passing through this section. Mr. McIlrath remembers well when a boy, and prior to the war of the rebellion, being sent by his sainted mother with food to men, women and children of the race who were secretly housed upon the farm while THE BUCKEYE RECORD A GRIST OF NEWS FROM VARIOUS CITIES IN OHIO.

A similar affidavit was filed in Columbus against Sugre some time ago and the case is set for trial August 4. Reports made to State Bank Superintendent B. B. Seymour by trust companies and incorporated banks show that Cleveland leads all Ohio cities.

A few months ago a white girl from West Virginia was pronounced insane because she wanted to marry a man of the race, and at Cincinnati last week another was adjudged likewise for the same reason. The Afro-American is running up against it on every hand. "Those whom we destoy, make mind," and head of the nation has placed his seal on it.

Teddy Kills Hippopotamus Naivasha, British East Africa.—Ex-President Roosevelt, who is at present hunting on the south shore of Lake Naivasha, from the ranch of Capt. Richard Attenborough, has succeeded in bringing down a big hippopotamus. The animal is estimated to weight three tons. enroute to Canada and freedom, and how after an all-night's drive (with escaping slaves) his grand old father would require him and an Afro-American on the farm (who always ate at the first, able in the home with his parents and the rest of the family) to clean the horses and the cones he received impressions that have remained with him ever since, and which have played a decided part in the aggressive friendship for the race he has shown ever since. The McMirth family and descendants' association, of which he is president, is the largest in this section of the country. Naturally he is one of the best known of Cleveland's business men. Therefore there should be no question of whether he will ever election this fall. In this, our voters should and undoubtedly will play a very important part, and will be glad to do so. Spend the news-tell every voter who whom you are acquainted of Mr. McMirth's candidacy and do your duty. "Promoted" to Milk White House Cow Washington, D. C.—White President Taft continues to refuse to appoint an Afro-American to any office and has had nearly 500 dropped from good federal jobs in the South since March 4, he has recently done something important in the campaign among the "Booker Washington" Negroes (W. M. N.) hereabouts: Henry Crane, a member of the race, until recently connected with the quartermaster's department, has been transferred to the White House staff. He is now the quartermaster of White House cow, and the function of drawing the milk for the milk to the hands of Crane. All Taft Negroes kowtow! Get down on your knees and offer up thanks. There are folks who occupy a larger spot in the national capital than anyone else like to do some "milking" of another kind in the vicinity of the White House, but will doubtless "take it out" in "liking" and that is all.

No Census Enumerators in the South Washington, D. C.-President Taft, Secretary Nagel and Postmaster General Hitchcock reached a decision at the cabinet meeting last week Tuesday, it is understood, regarding the appointment of census enumerators in the south. In some southern states where both Republican and Democrat there are Afro-American candidates. It seems to have been settled that Afro-American enumerators will not be appointed anywhere in the south, as that will almost surely raise the race issue. The selections, therefore, must be made from white candidates. This One, Killed Him. New York City—Mary Leppin, a pretty white girl, 20 years old, walked up behind Joseph Thompson, a West Indian colored youth, in a downtown apartment house where he ran the elevator and shattered his spine with a bullet on the 11th. She shot four shots, three of which lodged in the man's body. The girl, who became hysterical after the shooting, said that she did it because Thompson had ceased to care for her. He will die.

For Years Adelbert College's Librarian —Elected Principal of Washington, D. C.'s Largest High School for Afro-Americans. The above is an excellent portrait of Mr. Edward C. Williams, librarian of Hatch library, Adelbert College, who was elected principal of M street high school, Washington, D. C., the largest in this country for our people. He was educated in this city, graduating from Adelbert in 1892, when he was made first assistant librarian of Hatch library. Later he was advanced to the post he still holds. Since the establishment of a library school at Western Reserve University, he has been a professor at the institution, in connection with which Adelbert college is conducted. The minimum salary of the Washington principalship is $2,000, increasing annually until $2,500 is reached. He was not an active candidate for the position. Two men now connected with the Washington schools and locally well backed, Garnett Wilksinson, him, and Harry Dellon Harvard man and conducted a right for the position which has come to Mr. Williams. In a letter to the Washington board President Thwong of Western Reserve university, said Mr. Williams: "In particular as a reference librarian, I believe him to be the best in Cleveland and in all libraries librarians. As a teacher he is apt, impressive, successful." Many letters and telegrams of congratulation have been received by Mr. Williams the past week. He will undoubtedly prove a splendid acquisition to our schools at the nation's capitol, and while Cleveland regrets to lose him, its loss will be Washington's gain. He is not only competent from an energetic and thoroughly up-to-date intellect, necessary to make the work at the M street high school, Washington, D. D., under his leadership, prosper as never before. Mr. Williams' father, Mr. Daniel P. Williams of East Thirty-ninth street, formerly Grant street, is one of the oldest and best citizens. THE FORAKER SCHOLARSHIP! Prof. W. S. Scarborough, President of Wilberforce University, and Mrs. Patricia Robison Write Relative to it. Wilberforce, O., July 14, 1909. Editor Gazette, Date: Sep. I am sending you herewith some matter for publication. Please give the same your attention and oblige. Yours very sincerely. W. S. SCARBOROUGH. Wilberforce, O., July 14, 1909. The following letter was received by President W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university from Mrs. Patricia Robison, and in reply he begs to state that $2,500 would yield an annual income, at 5 per cent, of $125, which would be sufficient for the support of any student might be selected for said scholarship. The Wilberforce authorities are greatly pleased over the prospects of having a scholarship in honor of Senator J. B. Foraker and are ready to give any information or aid that will help to bring the results to pass as soon as possible. Certainly a no more wise or thoughtful suggestion could have been made than was made by Mrs. Patricia Robison in the Gazette in reference to this matter, and it is hoped that the people generally will take it up and see that it is carried out: Moro, Ore., June 29, 1909. W. S. Scarborough, President Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Dear Sir: Will you please let us know, through The Cleveland Gazette, how much money would be required to found a free scholarship at Wilberforce, to be called "The Joseph Benson Foraker Scholarship"? Also, how it had best be invested? Hon. Harry Foraker, the founder of Wilberforce, get to the necessary data, and he Mr. Canday of "The Advocate." in Portland, this state, have at my request opened their columns to contributions. It would be a help to the race and a source of honor from the white race. They appreciate the sacrifice he (Senator Foraker) has made for Afro-Americans, and are watching to see how well he can forgive me for writing. With all good wishes, I am. Yours very sincerely.

SMITH Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1898 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1902 THE TRADING COUNCIL Cleveland, O., July 17, 1909. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. President Taft will not succeed himself four years hence, according to the signs of the times which include the tariff legislation now pending in congress. Good. The only Afro-American thus far "recognized" by President Taft is one Henry Crane, who a few days ago was transferred ("promoted") from the quartermaster's department to the White House staff so that he could take charge of "Moleley," principally for the purpose of milking her and other White House cows. Those Negroes, including the editor of the Chicago Conservator, who made the mistake of supporting Taft last fall, are now "dee-lighted." we suppose "Hurrah for Taft!" The Afro-American needs "social recognition or equality" and everything else that is good in this country that is necessary to promote the progress of any other class of American citizens. Furthermore he is going to have them, too, regardless of all the silly and foolish "behind-the-sun" howling of all the benighted denizens (black or white) of the south, and the north, too, for that matter. Tom Dixon, Will Vardaman, John Graves, Hoke Smith, and the rest of their flik in the southland may depend upon it—they are simply wasting their breath and time spouting out their cideriferous hot air in an effort to stop this wheel of progress. A BISHOP "BELLY-WALLOWING." Bishop E. W. Lampton's letter to those Greenville, Miss., white brutes who threatened to kill him and his family if they returned there because he and his daughter insisted upon a telephone exchange operator (a poor "white" girl) using the prefix "Miss" before his daughter's name when calling for her, contained such an object apology and such a pitiful request for pardon for doing what any MAN ought to have done, as to be simply disheartening. Better by far had the bishop disposed of his home and longings in such a miserable community as that and moved to Ohio, as the dispatches to the daily papers announced several weeks ago, he intended doing. Heretofore we have always regarded Mr. Lampton as one of the strong men of the race. The driver in his communication, stating that he had "never asked or stood for social recognition or equality" and that he hopes to spend the remainder of his life in Greenville, Miss., in the face of what had transpired, is positively sickening. It is a most disagreeable reminder of what we have been given to understand was called "belly-wallowing" during the days of slavery. May God forgive the bishop. TITLE PLEDGES OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. "Having given solemn pledges to the people—having secured power on those pledges—a great party cannot afford to put itself in the light of wrigling out of them." The above is from an editorial in the Chicago Inter Ocean of July 18, 1909, on "M. Taft Is Right" in the tariff dispute. Very true. Mr. Editor of the "only Republican newspaper in Chicago," very true. But may one inquire why the party and its exponent do not assume this morally and logically correct position as regards other pledges than the one on tariff revision—pledges contained in the same platform, couched in plain, perfectly intelligible words, and endorsed by the voters quite as much as any other part of the platform, so far as human judgment can see? That platform distinctly declared in favor of the enforcement in "letter and spirit" without reserve (reserve of the 14th and 15th amendments of the Constitution). If conscience and honor have not left the Republican party it is by dictates of conscience and honor-bound to live up to its pledges. Is the party or the president doing it? THE FORAKER SCHOLARSHIP. Elsewhere in this paper will be found a communication from Prof. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, telling how much money is necessary to constitute the Joseph Benson Foraker scholarship fund, originally suggested in the columns of this paper by Mrs. Patricia Robison, of Moro, Oregon, for the famous old institution, Wilberforce University. The amount required, $2,500, is a small sum, and ought to be easily and promptly raised by popular subscriptions. The Gazette has had so much, and in recent weeks, too, relative to this all important matter which is now very thoroughly understood generally, that it ought not to be necessary to go over it again in detail at this time. Mrs. Robison has started the fund with a contribution of $2 and Mr. J. M. Summers of Xenia, O., has promised $1. President Scarborough in a communication received some weeks ago, has given The Gazette authority to receive subscriptions which it will acknowledge through the columns of this paper. By all means let us have the scholarship, not only because its establishment will forever honor the name of our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, but also because of the much-needed good it will do the race. The matter is now up to all people, especially our people here in Ohio. Let all those who feel able to do so, contribute freely, promptly, and as much as they can. Scholarship Joseph Benson Foraker Scholarship Fund. Mrs. Patricia Robison, Moro, Ore.$2.00 Mr. J. H. Summers, Xenia, O..... Who'll be the next to contribute? Wedding Day Out of Sorrow Wedding Day One of Sorrow. Canton, O.—The day that was to have been celebrated as the happiest in the lives of Miss Corn Rich and George King of this city, was one of sadness, when Miss King was to have married King, she followed his corpse to the cemetery instead. When King and Miss Rich came to a railroad crossing recently an east-bound train was passing. They waited for the train to pass but did not notice another eastbound train on another track until it was upon them. Miss Rich managed to get away and tried to save King, but he was almost instantly killed. Charged with Bigamy. North Baltimore, O. — Alexander Fieldstein, 26, must face trial for bigamy as the result of the appearance here of his first wife from whom he says he thought he was divorced several years ago. She maintains she is still his lawful wife despite the fact that Fieldstein married a New York girl two years ago. The four children with her, she declares, belong to him. She had him arrested for non-support. Fieldstein, according to his story, was forced to marry the woman by his parents in Russia 10 years ago, when he was but 16. She was 12 years his senior. Dead and Never Missed. New York City.—An illustration of how a man may lose his life in New York and never be missed has been disclosed by the finding of the body of an unidentified/man, buried 50 feet under the earth's surface in the excavation for a trunk sewer in the upper part of the city. This man probably was employed a year or more ago in the construction work on this sewer and buried under one of the frequent avalanches of the sliding sand. His shovel was found under the body. Norwalk's Centennial. Norwalk, O.-Thosands of people already are in Norwalk for the city's continental and home coming celebration which is being held this week. The business section of the town is elaborately decorated. During merchants and manufacturers' day there was an industrial parade in the morning and an automobile parade in the afternoon, which was reviewed by Gov. Harmon. In the evening Gov. Harmon delivered an address and afterward was given a public reception. One Killed in Railroad Wreck Wooster, O.—One man was killed and two others were probably fatally injured in a wreck on the Pennsylvania line five miles east of Wooster. The accident was caused by the breaking of an air brake hose as the train was going over the Wooster hill with one engine pulling and another on the rear, pushing. When the hose burst the first part of the train came to a stop, but the second engine continued pushing, causing the train to "buckle" and throwing the forward cars off the track. Kept Marriage a Secret. Hamilton, O.-Judge Hartkoff has granted Mrs. Mary Minton Pearson an uncontested divorce from Prof. Ward Pearson of the school of science and commerce of the University of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Pearson was restored to her maiden name. In testifying she said that she married Prof. Pearson July 4, 1904, and that from the first he insisted on keeping his marriage a secret, taking her to an obscure apartment. Insane Man Defies People. Marion, O.—Declared insane by the probate court, Harry W. Marsh, 45, went to his brother's home, armed himself with a hatchet, nailed the doors shut and the windows down, stripped himself and defied anybody to approach. A traveling man broke the glass and snatching the hatchet, arrested the insane man. Marsh became insane over local option and religion. Meeting of Associated Dailies Meeting of Associated Dailies. Sandusky, O.—The summer meeting of the Associated Ohio Dailies will be held at Cedar Point, August 4 and 5 and 6. The legislative reunion will be held the same week. Receivership Lifted Cincinnati, O.-On order of Judge Lurton in the United States appellate court the receivership of the Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton Railway Co. was lifted. Judson Harmon, as receiver, is relieved of duty, but the court retains jurisdiction of the property and business of the railway. Retired Naval Officer Dead Portsmouth, O.—Lleut. Arthur P. Osborne, U. S. N., retired, 65, is dead at his home in Wheelerburg, near here. Wants to Marry "Typhoid Mary." New York City—A Michigan farmer has offered in a letter to marry Mary Mallon, or "typhoid Mary," a middle aged cook who has been isolated on an island in the East river for more than two years. Kentucky Negro Lynched. Paducah, Ky.—Without firing a single shot, a mob took Albert Lawson, a negro who shot Sheriff R. M. Compton, from the Paris jail and hanged him to a mulberry tree a few yards from the prison. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909. BLACK REPUBLIC LOVELY HAITI! THE COUNTRY OF TOUSSAINT L'OVERTURE, THE GREAT LIBERATOR. MUCH MALIGNED BY THE AMERICAN PRESS What the Little Republic Produces— Its School System, Churches, Cities and People Written of by Minister Furniss. Dr. H. W. Furniss, American minister to Haiti, who is a resident of Indianapolis, Ind., was in the United States on a vacation recently, and spent the last three weeks there. For eight years he was American consul at Bahia, Brazil, where he served with such distinction that he was promoted to his present position. He handled the affairs of our government ably during the recent revolution in Haiti. Dr. Furniss seems to be much impressed with Haiti. He has traveled all over the country and is thoroughly acquaint ed with the conditions existing there. He said: Paris, and there have been playwrights whose productions have met with success in Paris. Few people know that Alexander Dumas was of Hattien and cestry, and was proud of it. The Duo estate is still in existence in Hatt! HON. ROBERT E. McKISSON, The Next Mayor of Cleveland—Facts as to Him and County Recorder Herman C. Baehr. Before and after he was elected the first time seven years ago. County Recorder Hermann Baehr, who has about 40 male and female clerks and copyists in his office, was asked by the editor of The Gazette to appoint one of our young men and one of our young women to positions in his office as a clerk and copyist, respectively. This was a modest request considering the fact that the Afro-American voters of this county constitute practically one-fourth of its total Republican vote. This entitles us to four positions in the recorder's office instead of two. For seven long years, in spite of the fact that he has a representative of nearly every other class or race of people in the community, in his office as clerks and copyists, Recorder Baehr has steadfastly refused to appoint any member of our race to any position within his gift, and now comes forward as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, begging us for votes. The duty of every self and race-respecting Afro-American in this community is perfectly clear as far as Mr. Baehr's latest candidacy is concerned. Hon. Robert E. McKisson, when mayor of the city, appointed more Afro-Americans to positions than any other Republican mayor in the history of Cleveland. This is a well-known and generally recognized FACT. Then too, he is the only member of the party who, as mayor, has had any opportunity to make a record on the street car question (the burning issue of the campaign) which commends him to the masses of the people of this city. In point of ability and as a campaigner, he is recognized by all men, well acquainted with him and Mr. Baehr, as being greatly the latter's superior. His platform, which he announced recently, is one of the very best things that any candidate for office in the city of Cleveland has ever issued, and has commended his candidacy, for the Republican nomination for mayor this fall, to the great masses of Republicans and intelligent people generally, in the strongest possible manner. It is certainly an exceptionally strong and concise statement, showing unmistakably an exceptional familiarity with municipal affairs, and a most commendable determination to do those things most needed by Greater Cleveland and in the shortest possible time, if nominated and re-elected to the position of mayor this fall. And, that is exactly what we expect to see done because of the phenomenal growth in popularity of his candidacy within the week. If Mayor Tom Johnson is to be defeated in November, the Republicans of this community must be led by a fearless and sterling campaigner, a man whose exceptional knowledge of municipal affairs, and whose record on the burning issue of the campaign, are such to commend him to the masses of the people of this city. Such a man, is ex-Mayor Robert E. McKisson. NO NEGRO NEED APPLY For seven long years Recordor Baehr has refused to appoint any Afro-American to any position in his office, 'though asked to do so three different times by the editor of this paper, The Gazette. Now he is begging us for votes again—for the fourth time. Wonder "what he takes us for". In 1900, the editor of The Gazette, then a member of the G.O. legislature led the first that made Herman C. Baehr a member of the park board. HE is indebted to the RACE, and not it, to him. ```markdown ``` AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY.

Calais, France—Herbert Latham, the French aviator, made a daring but unsuccessful attempt to cross the English channel in his monoplane. He got away splendidly under perfect conditions, from the top of the chalk cliff at Sangatte, and had covered over half the distance at an average height of 500 feet when the motor slowed down and he was obliged to descend. The air space of the wings, however, kept the machine afloat until the French topedo boat destroyer Harpon came alongside and picked up aviator. HOWARD UNIVERSITY Wilbur P. Thirkield, LL.

Philadelphia, Pa.—In one of the busiest sections of the city and at a time when thousands of pedestrians were passing, the five-story brick building at the northeast corner of Eleventh and Market streets, which was being reconstructed for the United Gas Improvement Co., collapsed with a terrific roar, burying or pinning beneath the ruins 32 persons, seven of whom are dead, one missing, one fatally injured and 24 more or less seriously injured. The two lower floors of the building had been torn out and the three upper floors were shored up by heavy timbers. Steel girders were bracing the shoring. It is supposed that by moving one of the girders, the entire structure was loosened. THIRTEEN PEOPLE DROWNED British Submarine Boat Sunk by Cargo Steamer Eddystone Near Crdmer, England. Cromer, England.—The British submarine boat designated as C-11 was sunk by the cargo steamer Eddystone at a point $4\frac{1}{2}$ miles northwest of the Haisborough lightship. Thirteen members of the vessel's crew went to the bottom with her, and only three were saved. Lieutenants Brodie and Watkins are among the survivors. The third man probably was a sailor. The cruiser Bon Adventure, with a flotilla of sub-marines, was proceeding in a southerly direction when the Eddystone ran in among the vessels and collided with C-11. The sub-marine was badly stove in and went down immediately. Platt Celebrates Birthday Quietly New York City.-Thomas Collier Platt, formerly the dominant political figure in the Empire state and prominent in the councils of the nation, spent his seventy-sixth birthday quietly at his summer cottage at Freeport, L. L., visited by but few friends and apparently so forgotten by many of his former associates that, when asked for the names of the delinquents, he smiled and said: "The list is too long." Nevertheless the old chief still holds that there is no career for a young man like politics. Railroad Gets Right of Way. Youngstown, O.-The city council has passed over the veto of Acting Mayor M. C. Higgins the ordinance granting a franchise through the city to the Lake Erie and Eastern railroad, to be built from Oak Point, near Lorain, to Alquippa, Pa. Spanish Pretender Is Dead: Rome, Italy.—Don Carlos of Bourbon, the pretender to the Spanish throne, is dead at Varese, in Lombardy. He had been ill for a long time and the latest reports indicated that he was suffering from appoplexy, with accompanying paralysis. Cincinnati, O.—A gasoline launch carrying a pleasure party from a day's outing up the river, capizsed off Coal Haven, Ky., on the Ohio river. Five of the occupants of the boat were drowned. Toledo Editor Marries. New York City.—Miss Mabel Dixey, sister of Henry E. Dixey, the actor, and her a sister at one time, was married here to Robinson Locke, editor of the Toledo (O.) Blade. The wedding was attended only by immediate relatives of the family, the ceremony being performed in the drawing room of the Dixey homestead at Mile Square road and Bronx River road, Sherwood park, Yonkers. Henry E. Dixey was best man. The Rev. Charles R. Skinner, pastor of the First Universalist church of Mt. Vernon, performed the ceremony. The clergyman is the nephew of Otis Skinner. Mr. Locke was consul to England during the administration of President Harrison. He is the son of the late publisher of the Blade, widely known as "Petroleum V. Nasby." Arrested on Theft Charge. Cleveland, O.—Edward Armstrong, who was publicly married at Luna park several weeks ago and who was presented with a complete household outfit by a down town store, was arrested, charged with stealing $17 worth of clothing. Among the articles that Armstrong is charged with taking are a man's suit, a woman's suit, one pair of shoes, two neckties and two scarf pins. Armstrong has been employed in the warehouse of a down town store since his public marriage. Not a blemish marred his married life, he says, until he was accused by the house detective of appropriating articles of apparel. This he asserts is false. The wrong man he maintains has been arrested. Lost Race With Death. Cleveland, O.—In the caboose of a freight train Thomas Murphy fought a battle with death. The odds were against him. Both his legs were mangled. In the cab of the engine Murphy's boyhood companion drew from the engine every bit of its speed. Murphy was a freight conductor on the Big Four. He was making a coupling in the yards south of Grafton. The string of wild cars, sent down from a sliding by the engine, had more momentum than Murphy knew. When the cars came together at the coupling point the collision was severe. Murphy was thrown under the wheels and they passed over his legs. Hard Problem to Solve. Cleveland, O.—When Daniel Newerika, 55, could not decide in police court whether it would be easier for him to stay sober and give his wife his wages or go to the workhouse for six months Police Judge Levine sent him to the workhouse for two days trial. After two days in the workhouse Newerika can have a suspended sentence if he will promise to stay sober and give his wife his wages. Otherwise he will remain in the workhouse for six months. Investigating City Officials Youngstown, O. — Detectives here with Andrew Neville, arrested, who is charged with attempted bribery, have been brought here by merchants, who have raised a fund of $30,000 for an investigation of the officials of this city and county, according to good authority.

Walker, the noted hair-culturist, who was here a few weeks ago, is in the city again for ten days, and is located at the Philadelphia hotel, 2733 Central avenue. Persons desiring beautiful hair should see Madam before she leaves. Go and have a talk with her. It don't cost one cent for consultation. Every woman of age will see her. The surest way is to measure the hair before her treatment; if the measure it again after you have used a box of her grower, and note the improvement. She comes highly recommended by some of the leading people of this country. Following are the names of a few of the many: Dr. W. T.

Johnson and City Clerk Peter Witt "literally skinned" Tom Fleming, a barber in the Chamber of Commerce building, and Sam Woods, an assistant turn-key in the sheriff's office, last Saturday evening at his tent meeting on the playground between Central and Marion avenues, just east of East Twenty-second street, the collection was finished a great deal of amusement for those that section of the city all day Sunday, as well as the first of the week. Mr. Witt took advantage of the opportunity to thoroughly air Sheriff Hirstus' color-line in 1-fusing to have a street cut through from Central avenue to Cedar avenue, opposite Skeed street, while a member of the city council, and also the fact that an Afro-American was not made a member of the Chamber of Commerce citizenized 100 members, he agreed to do so. He also called attention to the fact that Fleming was still occupying a very embarrassing position as a result of that useless and unwarranted contention. Our people had no claim upon the Chamber of Commerce or its committee of 100 as far as membership in the latter is or was concerned. Wonder who prompted Fleming and Woods to ask the questions which resulted in their most severe verbal castigation of Saturday night? The question is known better, especially since the wise persons who prompted them refused to do what they so weakly and pitifully attempted to do. The old saying that some people rush in where others fear to tread, is as true today as a thousand years ago. B. C. Cobb, who has recently opened a grocery store in the block on the southeast corner of Central avenue and East Twenty-eighth street, was formerly a resident of Atlanta, Ga., where he owned property and conducted very successfully, a similar business, about all of which he lost as a result of the notorious Atlanta riot. Coming to Cleveland some months ago with his family, he has been struggling to make a living for them. When he entered his present quarters, he he was the agent of the building, Ben Scruller, who sign a request for a natural gas meter, and both refused to do so.

JULY 24. 1909. the poor man without a meter, and consequently with no hope of gas light in the evening when most needed he approached a member of the race who called Scrulovits, a saloonkeeper next door, into Mr. Cobb's grocery store and asked him if it was true that he had refused to do the poor man the small favor asked. Scrulovits replied that he had refused him. Nearly all of his (Scrulovits') trade comes from our people of that vicinity. We call our readers' attention to this matter particularly that they may help race organizers by providing race who patronizes Scrulovits' place so that every one of them who has the slightest brotherly feeling and sympathy for Mr. Cobb, and the least race-pride and self-respect, will discontinue patronizing Scrulovits' place. There is no earthly reason why they should do so anyhow, because there are several members of the race in the same vicinity, conducting places of business similar to his and where better goods can be secured than in Scrulovits' place, at the same or less rates. Stay out of his place and that of Joe Goodman at the corner of Central avenue and East Thirtieth street, where they shall we be taught what clearly appears to be a much-needed lesson. Pass the word along to all members of the race in that vicinity as well as throughout the city. Oliver W. White of S118 Carnegie avenue, his wife and another lady, who were refused admission to the Euclid Avenue Garden Theater on the evening of July 5 solely on the ground of race or color or both, have brought suit in Justice Morrow's court for $300 under our Ohio Civil Rights Law. The Hon. Chas. W. Snider, his attorney, was a member of the Ohio legislature that under off Ohio law zette in 1894-5-6-7, and was largely instrumental in aiding in the passage of our Civil Rights bill which was made a law in 1894, 15 years ago. Mr. White, who is in the employ of a wealthy business man in the east end, purchased his tickets during the day of the 5th, paying $3 for them, and proposes to teach the management of that theater that under off Ohio law he printed on tickets of the materials from its representatives, managers or others, to the effect that "we don't want you or your kind in our theater" don't "go" in this state. He says that the statements of business manager Geo. Chenet of the theater, to the effect that he told the ticket seller that he was buying his tickets for some people at the hotel, and that he started to blister and hurt them. Their company is their company the most insulted at the theater in the grossly insulted an untrue. Possibly the most amusing feature of the daily newspaper account of Euclid Avenue Garden Theater on July 5 was Chenet's statement that he told Mr. White that his patrons did not wish to associate with the wife printed on tickets of the theater did not believe they wanted to. Here is a poor "white" man, expressive a personal opinion that is simply ridiculous on its very face. Chenet is certainly amusing if he is not broadened and manly. Mr. White assures us that it is the intention of his wife and the other lady to also institute suit against the Euclid Avenue Garden theater management. The theater manager, the race who have suffered similar mistreatment at that theater have called upon him and his attorney offering their services as witnesses. They too, should institute suit and help teach that and other theater management in the city that discriminate, not only to respect Ohio law, but also to respect and treat properly all members of the business able to pay; who conduct themselves properly, and whose personal appearance, as far as neatness of dress, etc., is concerned, are up to the usual standard. Mrs. Durham, the new chef of the Z club dining hall, is one of the best in the city. Try her lunch at noon and her dinner beginnings at 5 p.m. and be convinced. Persons in cities and towns surrounding Durham will be especially welcome at the emancipation celebration to be held at Luna Park Monday, August 2. See advertisement elsewhere in this paper. Do not forget another race enterprise—Frank Warle's neat and very pretty ice cream parlor. He serves, also, a very dainty luncheon, and sells elgars and tobacco as well as various other treats. (2060 Central avenue, near East Thirtieth street The emancipation celebration at Luna Park August 2, advertised elsewhere in this paper, promises to be an exceptional affair and a revival of the splendid celebrations of years gone, to make the park better known and respected throughout this section of the country. The orator of the day is conceded to be one of our leading men in the east. He is a government official, a graduate of Harvard law school, and was an athlete of national reputation while a student of that college. The street parade is to be especially pleasing, and the celebrations at the park are to be of the very best. Purchase your tickets at once. PATION RATION PARK August 2 TION OF COLORED MEN , Asst.

Twenty-three members of the house visited President Taft and appealed to him to protect raw materials, saying their return to congress depended upon such action.

MARK TWAIN'S LITTLE JOKE Possibly Chief Justice Fuller Will Not Be Pleased at Sentiment Expressed in His Name. Mark Twain was waiting for a street car in Boston, when a young girl approached him, smiling. She was a lovely girl, fresh, blooming, ingenious, bubbling with enthusiasm, and evidently on her way home from school. "Pardon me," she said. "I know it's very unconventional, but I may never have another chance. Would you mind giving me your autograph?" "Glad to do it, my dear child," said Mr. Clemens, drawing out his fountain pen. "Oh, it's so good of you," gurgled the girl. "You know, I've never seen you but once, Chief Justice Fuller, and that was at a distance; but I've seen your portrait so often that I recognized you the moment I saw you here."

TOLD TO USE CUTICURA. After Specialist Failed to Cure Her Intense Itching Eczema—Had Been Tortured and Disfigured But Was Soon Cured of Dread Humor. "I contracted eczema and suffered intensely for about ten months. At times I thought I would scratch myself to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large red patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was advised to go to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I received very little relief. I tried every known remedy, with the same results. I thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them, and after four or five applications of Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of my unbearable itching. I used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I am completely cured.

A 300-pound sturgeon found its way into the fish pound formerly owned by Asa Stannard, now the property of A. W. Stokes. The fish measured nine feet eight inches in length. When the sturgeon found herself a prisoner she made desperate efforts to break out, but as the pound was a new one the efforts were fruitless. By means of ropes the fish was got ashore and slain. There were about fifty pounds of eggs discovered, said to be worth about one dollar a pound. As the fish itself brings about 15 cents a pound, it proved to be a valuable catch—Westbrook Cor.

HOME TESTING A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee. "To decide the all important question of coffee, whether or not it is really the hidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed diseases, one should make a test of ten days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: "I had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and terrible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were always great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so I thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not acknowledge that it caused my suffering. "Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two weeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. The headache and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking coffee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months and had never been sick a day when I thought I would experiment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery and I went back to Postum with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future."
